THE BENEFITS OF YOGA

• Anyone can benefit from studying Yoga. Busy people use it to manage stress in their hectic lives. Pregnant women use it to prepare for the birth of their children. Elite athletes use it to recover from injuries.
• Beginners experience Yoga practice as a form of physical exercise that challenges and refines flexibility, strength, and balance. As a regular practice, Yoga enhances the ability to rest into moment-bound reality and become transparent to the seeming dual nature of the world.
• Greater flexibility can be expected in the practice. Like any other form of exercise, Yoga helps develop physical strength - a matching emotional strength that helps meet the challenges of life with peace and balance.
• The body practices of Yoga (postures and regulated breathing techniques) enhance oxygenation to body tissues and systems which serve as a powerful stress management tool.
• A stressed body does not know how to relax. Yoga works the body relaxing muscles and aligning bones and tissues for proper biomechanical and physiologic functioning.
